Hey guys,

So on my 1999 4.0L XLT the torsion brackets which hold the torsion keys have rusted out and I'm trying to see if anyone might have a part or part number I can look up and order because its close to dropping the front end. Please if you have any info or links or part numbers it would one greatly appreciated!

Below I have attached a photo for you guys to see what the problem is on my truck, if you can't I apologize I'm still new on here and trying to get used to this format. In the picture you can see the adjustment bolt and the plate that the bolt goes through. The bracket the plate rests on has rotted out and I am trying to find that bracket, I guess its called the torsion crossmember but I have been looking and have found nothing so far.

Yikes, that may be too far gone to do anything

Damn no! I mean the only other thing I can think of is going to a junk yard and seeing if I can pull off those brackets from another Ranger with torsion suspension.

Help me out... some !
Can we get a wider angle of the frame/bracket area.
With that much rust on that bracket I can only imagine what the frame looks like.

As e.fisher26 stated, it may be too late for the bracket area, I'm thinking FRAME !
